Abby suffers from Body Identity Integrity Disorder. She longs to be an amputee. As far back as she can remember, she's known exactly where she wants to cut her left arm off (exactly 5 inches from the shoulder socket.) But for a woman with her disorder, there's nowhere to turn for help. Certainly not to her boyfriend who thinks she's a freak for wanting this at all. Things look bleak when he breaks up with her, until Abbie meets a veterinarian with a three legged dog who might just be the ray of hope she's been waiting for.
